Thank you @JessicaGottlieb for the first review on my new book: Facebook & Twitter For Seniors For Dummies

"I consider myself to be well versed in Facebook and Twitter and the etiquette for both. What I am not capable of is explaining it to my parents. I got this book today, and it's the perfect tool to introduce seniors to the social web (sorry mom).

The chapters are well laid out, with great examples of lingo that I (as a heavy social media user) take for granted.

If your mom doesn't know a DM from a status update, just buy her this book. It's really terrific. Also, Marsha mentions that as we age we are less mobile. This could be very liberating for someone who can't get out as much as they'd like to."

If you think your Mom, Dad or Grandparents might benefit from the book as well, you can find it here (It's in LARGE print)

Here's some info on the book, it's a fun and easy social media guide for the over-55 set
